My debugging indicates that when close_all_dirs() is called, there are a
slew of unclosed directories which each have a non-zero ref_count. Save for
the root directory of the edit (/tags), fetch_props == TRUE,
propfind_handler->done == TRUE, and tag_closed == TRUE for all open child
directories. So I'm looking around at how file references are managed to
see if anything has leaked. I might have inadvertently botched something
when adding the pull-contents-from-the-wc-cache logic.
